The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has accused President Muhammadu Buhari of aiding corruption in the alleged secret release of over N16.6 billion Paris Club fund to Osun State.
PDP said a reaction to the report on Saturday that its investigation has revealed that the N16.67bn is to be diverted as a bribe to INEC officials, compromised international observers as well as pay hoodlum contracted by the All Progressives Congress (APC) in its desperate plot to rig the September 22, 2018, Osun Governorship elections.
According to a statement issued in Abuja by Kola Ologbondiyan, its National Publicity Secretary, it is reprehensible that President Buhari, who it said his handlers have been parading as ‘Mr Integrity’, could approve such dark scheme to convert funds meant for payment of several months’ arrears of workers’ salaries to bribe electoral officers and pay thugs to foist a rejected leadership on an already impoverished people.
It said further investigation revealed to the party that bulk of the money has already been pencilled for sharing to APC leaders, especially at the national level, as a bribe, to short-circuit the system to favour President Buhari’s rejection bid, while the people of Osun continue to suffer deprivation.

The PDP added that it had been further made aware of how part of the fund will be moved to private company accounts as well as various hidden locations for the compromised INEC officials and APC leaders.
The statement added: “Indeed, these revelations have clearly shown that the Buhari Presidency and the APC care less about the welfare of Nigerians and have completely sold themselves to sleazes and corruption for selfish gains.”
The PDP, therefore, charged the people of Osun State, particularly the workers to rise up and reject this direct assault on their rights, sensibilities and survival as a people, by the APC, which have become notorious for corruption and subversion of rules.
It further said: “Moreover, the PDP has been at alert regarding the movement of these funds and other secret deals between the APC and INEC and will not hesitate to expose the INEC officials, including a close relation of the President, who has been the arrowhead of plots to rig elections for the APC.”
The PDP invited the world to note how President Buhari and the APC, who were huge beneficiaries of credible elections conducted by the PDP in 2015, are bent at destroying our hard-earned democracy, just because they have been rejected by Nigerians.
“Nevertheless, in spite of these machinations, the PDP wants the APC to know that it has not retracted the resolve to contend with it head to head, in all ramifications and magnitude, to discomfit and dismantle its rigging machinery, beginning with September 22, 2018, Osun state governorship election,” the statement said.
The PDP commended state governors, particularly a few in the APC, who have spoken out against this sneaky act by the Buhari Presidency.
“Our party will continue to work with these patriotic individuals in the overall quest to free our nation from the shackles and misrule of the Buhari-led APC,” it concluded.
Rigging experts
To rig “dibo ko sebe”….
Yes of course.
Pdp has no credible candidate…
We cannot vote for f9 candidate
Buhari is a saint.
Make your evidence known to Nigerian.
I am sorry but after APC has left the scene come 2019, you will hear and see many worst corruption perpetuated by this APC federal and state government!!!
Buhari is a fake person
I think people should start using “I ” instead of “we” when stating their personal opinions.
Example! I will not vote APC come 2019 like I did in 2015!!!
Is it not better than using “we” as if I speak for others???
What PDP knows best.. Rigging machinations
Source pls
it was released to osun to rig the upcoming election the same way they rigged ekiti and other elections.
@ Adegbite Idris you don’t ever seen Buhari result before?
They, APCs brought #18bn to Ekiti’s last gubernitorial election and now is Osun governorship election, #16bn is also brought to manipulate the election, and to buy people’s votes. Nigeria be wise
PDP have already defeated before the battle.
This PDP spokesman don’t know how to oppose rationally. We are not fools and cheap propaganda like this don’t sell again in our political market. Tell us logical way why the payment is wrong not just writing rubbish
In as much as I don’t support rigging of any election in whatever form, l still have to say it takes a professional thief to know and trace another thief. PDP knows that if money is secretly released to a state its for nothing than rigging of election. Just as they did in Ekiti in 2014. But honestly speaking a govt that claims to be fighting corruption should be part of this as it is said that he who goes to equity must go with clean hands. This is rubbish if the claim of PDP is true.
Bakare Sharafa see more reactions ooo.
Confirm it now abi. Lolll
Bakare Sharafa start criticising the failure buhari for this evil against an already impoverished people. 34 months salary areas and yet money secretly released for election
Ekeh Arinzechukwu more newspapers are confirming it for Bakare Sharafa to believe. Enough is a enough. Lets criticize this wrong
There they to again. First it was PMB releasing billions to Ekiti and now it is Osun’s turn. PDP na wa
It is true, we were in Osun state yesterday
I will consider this a hoax until substantiated.
#48 BILLION CONTRIBUTED FOR VOTES BUYING BY PDP LOOTERS HEADED BY SARAKI AHEAD OF OSUN GOVERNORSHIP ELECTION.
Yes everybody knows that PDP is corrupt. But giving osun 16b secretly is it corruption or not?
Didn’t you read it in today’s dailies
There’s FOI don’t be a lazy youth
We said it that buhari is a common criminal, and he wants to die in power.
If its true let Ogbeni Aregbesola use the money to off-set the arrears of the Osun State workers now.
A man who doesn’t know how daily newspapers are is here to substantiate. Oga stop your blind argument, go and read today’s newspapers
You said it exactly as it is.
They supposed to give the money to NSA as PDP would have done.
He will not die in throne but he will complete his 4+4 years by 2023 excellently. but for you …..you are going to die soon as a confirmed criminal.BTS
Ok we don hear noted
Isa Muhammad … U are ur family will not pass this week. Animal like you. Almajiri bastard
And PMB parades himself as a saint
That’s PDP’s money, not an unappropriated Federal government money if the news is true. Most especially a government headed by a man whom you are claiming is integrity personified
